Here the fragment from popular soviet toon, that illustrates the way, that a lot of TSPs use CAT and deal with big projects.

It's understandable even without translation. But may be sombody give a link of EN version.
The boy writes a letter to his parents — It's a partly translated project, which TSP has.

the cat and the dog add own thoughts to the letter — other translators finishes the translation
Psrents read letter — Customer gets translation.
I've seen the final edited version of raggle-taggle translations (and corrected TM) very few times.
It's also a good illustration of a very small benefit of TM, if translators have different viewpoints and style....
So the CAT is only the way to pay less to translators. ▲ Collapse

| The funniest book my parents ever read to me | Jun 9, 2021 |
Ah, those were the days, when my parents read Eduard Uspensky’s Uncle Fedya, His Dog, and His Cat to me at night and we all rolled off the bed laughing. Like so many Soviet-era books, it had its share of propaganda on re-reading it later, but I would still consider it great children’s literature.

The translation we read Uncle Fedya in back then was stellar, and so can be our translations today. We can always say no to business practices that are directed at agencies’ bottom line rather than final quality. CAT, MT and other techologies all have their uses in improving productivity and quality, but it’s up to us translators to keep our integrity and be selective about the work – and the working conditions – we participate in. ▲ Collapse

| It sounds like a pretty bad translation | Jun 10, 2021 |
Since it took me a good minute to realize what book you meant.
Why the heck would a translator use an unfamiliar Russian pet name (Fedya ~=Lil Teddy) for a tiny kid, when the original character made a point of using the full and mature-sounding Fyodor (think Theodore) and adding a ridiculous-sounding Uncle to it for extra-stuffy effect?
These things matter in a book where the whole plot is about a kid essentially emancipating himself and playing at being comically matur... See more Since it took me a good minute to realize what book you meant.

Epic Fail. Please make better choices.

| You are right about the English title … | Jun 10, 2021 |
… (not sure about the English translation of the actual book which I’m not familiar with). We read a Hungarian translation by B. Lányi Márta. Whether or not the title of the translation makes it easy to identify the original work is probably not among the foremost criteria though.
